How to Use an Eye Cream, Serum and Moisturiser Together

With so many products in a skincare routine it is no wonder that we receive queries on how to use products together, and which order to apply them in. This is true for so many product combinations, but in this post we wanted to explain how to use an eye cream, serum and moisturiser together. After cleansing these are key products that many of us use, and applying them to our skin in the right order means that we can get the best out of them. We will base our advice for when using our natural anti-ageing face products, but we believe that most eye creams, serums and face moisturisers should be used like this. 

We recommend starting with the serum so that the anti-ageing actives can best reach the skin cells, and then apply a face oil here if using one, which will seep through the serum. Next would be the eye cream, followed by the moisturiser to seal all of the goodness in. Of course personal preference is also important here, and there is flexibility when it comes to applying the serum before the eye cream, and vice versa. This is because there will always be some overlap with these products on the upper check lower eye area, which fits in nicely with an area of the face that is really prone to lines and wrinkles.

How to Use an Eye Cream, Serum and Moisturiser Together

To maximise the benefits of your skincare routine, it's important to understand the correct order of application for your eye cream, serum, and moisturiser. Follow these simple steps to ensure effective usage:

Serum: Start with applying your serum by taking a 1-2 pumps onto your fingertips and gently pressing it onto your face, focusing on areas of concern or targeted treatment. Smooth the serum onto your skin using upward motions, allowing it to penetrate deep into the layers.

Eye Cream: Next gently patting a small amount of eye cream onto the skin around your eyes using your ring finger. This delicate area requires special attention and care. Allow the eye cream to absorb fully before moving on to the next step.

Moisturiser: Finally, complete your skincare routine by applying your moisturiser. Take a generous amount and massage it onto your face and neck using upward and outward motions. This helps to seal in the previous products and hydrate your skin, providing a protective barrier.

Remember, consistency is key when it comes to skincare. Follow this daily routine, and you'll be able to enjoy the combined benefits of an eye cream, serum, and moisturiser, resulting in a healthy, radiant complexion. Here are some additional tips to keep in mind:

• Use products with natural compatible ingredients like our Nakin range: To ensure the best results, it's essential to use skincare products that work well together. Avoid mixing synthetic products with conflicting active ingredients.
• Start with a clean face: Before applying any skincare product, make sure your face is thoroughly cleansed. This helps to remove any dirt or impurities and allows the products to penetrate better.
• Don't forget your neck: When applying serums, creams and moisturisers, be sure to include your neck as well. The skin on our neck is thin and prone to ageing, so it's important to give it the same level of care as our face.
